(paraphrase from the presser yesteday) noting a few carries need to be head down and get 2 yards..
Does our OL have issues? = yes
Are Teams selling out at the LOS to make those issues worse? = yes
But, Saquon has one weakness, he is looking home run every play. Even if he puts his head down (did a nice job when he cut Bates down on 3rd down) he is pretty average at moving a pile, that is simply not what he wants and/or likes to do. I feel many - 4 yard runs would be +2 or +3 if ARob was carrying the ball. The lack of any short yardage progress further hampers the offense because they don't need to respect the inside hand off.
Love Saquon, but he does create some issues when he is simply asked to get a few yards. Many times he is hesitating off the read after Trace has already hesitated..
